Today's the Day The We Had a Family Picknick

 

Saturday was tons of fun. We did a mini-family reunion / celebrate Bekah's birthday. We have some pictures here, however, tons more will be on facebook and even some videos. 

Oh heavens it was fun. Heidi Anne spent all morning asking "When is Kailah coming?" Or "We go see Wrykken?" When we got the call that they were only 20 mintues away Heidi Anne ran around yelling "Yeah, they're coming! We're going on an Adventure!!"
 
When we meet them at the park and released Heidi Anne from her car seat she RAN right for Kailah bug yelling "Kailah!!" and gave her the biggest hug ever. They then went off for Rykken-once they were sure an adult had him-off they skipped. 

My sister and I have this knack for dressing the girls in coordinating outfits, we don't plan it, yet 8 out of 10 times we just do. It could be since they look so similar, and we think so alike, that it's natural that they would be dressed like sisters.

We had a great picnic at the best local park that has something for everyone.  The picnic was a blast, we had 4 generations at once. From my grandparents (which are now great-grandparents), our uncle, his family, and then our families. The food was great, my sister made pasta salad (and a special meat free version for me), some homemade Rumbi's salad, tons of veggies, fruit and dip, chips, sandwich fixings. Really good stuff. My grandma even did a surprise birthday cake for Bekah-and yes, we surprised her.
 
 






I have mentioned Cache Valley weather, if you don't like it, wait five minutes. When we first got there, it was a little to warm. Then we had a few sprinkles but then it went away. Later just as we were about to cut the cake-it poured! Once we got everything under a pavilion it became a drizzle, as soon as we finished eating the cake, the rain stopped, it was sunny, and the kids all went to play again. See-Just wait out the storm.

The day was spent watching kids play, laughing, catching up, nibbling, getting a little wet and sunburned, and just getting lost in the moments. 
 
So enjoy some of the pictures, more will be on facebook along with some videos as well. We had; 3 adorable little toddlers, lots of family, well over 2 and half hours at the park, which turned into 2 cameras filled with photos and 1 flip video with 90 mins of footage (I am sure there was a partridge in a pear tree as well-but I didn't get photos).
